    Great tips man. I have one to add. I’ve been using Seal Skinz waterproof socks. They have a knee high model that’s merino wool on the inside. Work great. Your boot might get water in them but when you take the sock off at the end of the day your foot is bone dry.

    Heated grips are my all time favourite for trail riding..I ride throughout the winter months and for most of the time I wear standard motocross gloves with a pair of silk gloves inside. When your outer gloves are wet, the silk gloves just slide inside, even when wet. Used this method for may years.

      Love my heated grips! Probably the first thing I add to any bike.

    Great tip's feller.. I use rain x on my single pain lenses inside and out and normally never have a issue. I also use it on my vlogging camera so the water drops bead off

    I get fogging really bad on the slow, hard stuff when it's 100% wet. Some people also do the double lens goggle but tear out the foam top and bottom. I have chainsaw glasses (wire mesh) 100% fog proof, though they cut out some light so as it nears dusk they get pretty dark. Other things I do is carry spare, dry goggles, and 1 or 2 pair of dry gloves. Sometimes when the rain stops, and your hands have been wet and cold a dry pair of gloves is super nice. I'll do nitrile liners, but the black 9 mil as they last much longer, but usually only when it's cold for that initial warm up period then take them off.

    I love tip #3, and for the gloves I purchased the Brisker gloves but my buddy has the leatt winter glove and they felt more comfortable and not as bulky. The 100% throttle hand glove didn’t feel good and my hand cramped running up Tooler.

    We have definitely had the wet riding the last few weeks up here. Down the road from you I am pretty sure......I think you have said, but what is the mount you use for your phone? I use GPS software on on an old phone on my TE300i ,but my mount is a tad sloppy when you hit hard.

    Cotton inner liners work best for Winter activities. We use them in wheelchair racing. Stops blisters and the cotton breaths under the race gloves. The inner liners are mostly used and sold for people doing fine dexterity work on assembly lines handling delicate objects. When they get sweaty and dirty I just throw them in the washing machine.

      @@WASemiHardEnduro Try Harness Designs. They used to make some of our gloves and sell the inner liners. In the last ten years we have gone to 3D printing our gloves in house at the University of Illinois. Hope they can help you. Have a great Christmas and I hope we are back to near normal in 2021.

    How waterproof is the air-filter like doing water crossing (like near engine level)?

      Probably not very waterproof! As long as you’re below the bottom of the airbox you should be fine.

    How about some ‘Hot Hands’ in the gloves on the back of your hands?
